I don't have any good answers as to why the owners of CF haven't done some of the obvious things that would improve its adoption, other than that they haven't been "forced" to do so. With Macromedia and now Adobe, their success as a whole is not dependent on the success of CF, so I imagine they focus their marketing efforts on their more popular product lines. There are only so many person-hours to go around, and I imagine that any product line that is profitable with essentially zero marketing effort is not going to have additional person-hours assigned to it. This is probably much less frustrating for Adobe than it is for us developers. -- Josh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298450 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
